I’ve submitted to blog carnivals before and have found it a good way of increasing traffic and telling me who else is posting about the areas I’m interested in.

They’re always great for climbing up the TTLB list and for short term traffic. You can also develop relationships with hosts and other posters that will strengthen your blogging for the long haul. I’ve hosted several carnivals and they’ve always been very helpful, worthwhile, and fun.

I’ve also been hosting a carnival called the Carnival of Family Life. It started out small but now has an average of 35 submissions every week. I agree, it’s a great way to get to know other bloggers with the same interest.

Thanks for spreading the word about blog carnivals!

Hey Darren,

I’ve been running a Work at Home blog carnival for 5 weeks now, every Friday.

I think carnivals are a great way to offer new and interesting articles to my readers that I probably would have never found without it.

They also help in building relationships with other bloggers in in my niche.

It has worked for me to build readership slowly, with each new edition.

I found blog carnivals useful to get some free links for my blogs. Once I even had the surprise to get a lot of traffic from one of those carnivals (usually, they did not generate too much traffic, at least in my case). Besides, I discovered some really interesting blogs via some of the carnivals I watch.

I think they are a fabulous idea, but I’m probably screaming “AMATUER” here when I say I find them kind of confusing (well, the ones I know of anyway). So far they’ve scared me off, but once I have a chance to sit down** and read through the criteria etc I’m sure they’ll be great :)

**oh, if only…

I once organized a blog carnival a few months back. It was fun and a big success. Too bad I failed to find fellow bloggers to help with maintaining the blog carnival, it’s quite tough to manage it on my own.

Still, blog carnivals are positive sources of exposure and traffic.

The carnivals is actually one of the key things I have done to increase traffic to my site. My first month I received about 300 unique visitors but then I began to participate in carnivals, even hosting the Carnival of Debt Reduction, and my traffic has increased to about 1000 unique visitors. While not earth shattering traffic, it has been a nice increase in traffic. In addition, the carnivals have provided me with links to new sites that I may have otherwise missed.
